Start Offtake

Start Offtake is documented in the Barb fitting category for its role as irrigation connection component. This page leads with catalogue evidence so engineers and buyers can identify the item before discussing commercial terms. Printed catalogue model references include LCO0016, LCO0020, LO0117, OP0116A, OP0120A; use the technical matrix to keep each code with its own values.

Verified catalogue information

The resolved source fields include LCO0016 — Catalogue size, LCO0020 — Catalogue size, LO0117 — Catalogue size, OP0120A — Catalogue size, OP0125A — Catalogue size. Values and units below are transcribed from the reviewed catalogue record.

The source distinguishes 6 technical variants, including LCO0016, LCO0020, LO0117, OP0120A, OP0125A. The complete matrix remains the authority for row-level comparison. These rows are identity evidence, not a substitute for project calculations. Unlisted characteristics require written confirmation.

How to select the correct variant

Match connection form, nominal size, thread or tube interface and any recorded pressure value to both mating components. Dimensions and labels in one technical row belong together; appearance alone cannot confirm interchangeability.

Start with the duty point, then eliminate variants whose recorded fields do not match. This prevents a familiar name from overriding the actual technical row.

Installation checks for the project

Prepare tube ends and mating surfaces according to the actual connection type. Keep parts aligned, use the correct insertion depth or thread practice, avoid unsupported tightening assumptions, and pressure-test the assembled section under the project procedure.

Site conditions can change the installation method, so the project procedure and confirmed item documentation remain necessary.

Service checks and record keeping

Inspect for movement, leakage, damaged threads, distorted sealing areas and pipe stress. Identify the exact size and variant before replacement, and do not reuse a damaged sealing element merely because the fitting still connects.

A maintenance note should identify the exact code, location and symptom. That evidence is more useful than a generic request for a similar part.

What to include in a technical enquiry

For a precise enquiry, state the product name Start Offtake, reference LCO0016, required quantity, destination, selected technical row and the project values that must be confirmed. Include the recorded comparison point LCO0016 — Catalogue size: 16.

Use the Barb fitting category to compare related product types and maintain a clear internal path from category research to this specification page. A concise schedule of codes, quantities and open questions gives both engineering and procurement teams an auditable basis for review.
